A Disk Read Error Occured, Does that Mean My Boot Drive Died? or Can My Other Disks be the Cause?

I can't check it one by one right now because this is my child brother's PC and I'm not at home.

I don't know, it wasn't me using it.

But upon troubleshooting it (reseating most of the parts), it's okay now.

When you get a chance to, I would run something like CrystalDiskInfo. That app shows you SMART data (think of SMART like vitals for a hard drive) from the drive. Make sure the drive health shows “Good” or “Okay”
